Title: Dragons’ Den
Description: Getting your numbers right is often the key to success in
the Den. This week a succession of pairs hope that two heads
are better than one when convincing the multimillionaire
investors to part with their cash. Two Manchester-based
business partners hope their unusual garden pods will create
a stir, two revolutionaries have a plan to revitalise the UK
housing market, and two of the youngest entrepreneurs ever
to face the Dragons think their record label can take on the
giants of the industry. Elsewhere, a husband and wife team
think they have designed a must-have accessory for women,
and an entrepreneur from Glasgow is on a crusade to turn the
Scottish national dish into a fast food snack

Title: Hairy Bikers’ Meals on Wheels
Description: The Hairy Bikers made their name cooking real food for real
people. Now they are riding to the rescue of one of our
great national culinary treasures - Meals on Wheels. At its
height this iconic institution delivered more than 34
million meals to the elderly and infirm, but over the last
eight years the number of Meals on Wheels delivered
nationwide has plummeted by over a third. In this episode,
Dave and Si get a sharp slap in the face. Armed with
delicious fresh recipes and lashings of their trademark
warmth and humour, the Bikers have been breathing new life
into Elmbridge council’s ailing MOW service. But the
kitchen is struggling to cope with the extra workload
created by their new menus and there is a dire shortage of
volunteers prepared to deliver the meals. In no uncertain
terms the boss lays it on the line for the Bikers: unless
they can recruit a whole new army of volunteers to help cook
and deliver the meals, all their hard work so far will be
for nothing
